Gpfcrnmcntt and "Bsiilcially a government of
such4owet! as:ihatw6-United Stated could not
have 'prevented .the" lateVjevuIsion. Ihe whole
commercial world seemed for years to have been
rushing.i'p Ihfejcata'strophe. The same ruinous
consequences .would have followed in the United
States. whether trio" duties upon sucli "imports had
remained a? they were pnder the tariff of 184G or
had lie'eriTraised' to a mu?h higher standard the
tariff of ISoV-had no airencv Tn the result. The
general causey existing throughout the world could
not-havo been controlled by the legislation of any
particular country.
The periodical revulsions which have eiistcd in.
our territory must continue to rcturn-at intervals
so. long as the present unbounded system of-bank
credit shall exist. They will however probably
be the less severe in future ; because it is not to
be expected at least for a few years to come that
the commercial nations of Europe with whose in-
terests our own are so materially involved will ex-
pose themselves to similar calamities. But the sub
ject was treated so much at large in my lasty6ars
message tnat l shall not now pursue itJuithcr. I
would respectfully rcacW the reomPdajion in
favor of the (sage.f airujinQiaHwBU
applicable to banking institutions. Tnw i?alrnn?
power ovor the subject which I believe the fede-
ral government-possesses. Such a. law would miti-
gate though it might not prevent tho cvil: The
instinct of 6clf-prcscrvation might produce a whole-
some restraint upon their banking business if they
knew in advance that a sponsion of specie pay-
ments would inevitably produce their civil death
Tho effects of (he revulsion arc but now slowly
passing away. The energy and cnleprriso of our
people with our unbounded resources will within
-the course of another j.ear restore a state of whole-
some income and trade. Capital has again ac
cumulated in our large cities Tue rate ol interest
is -there very low. Business is gradually reviving
.and as soon as it is discovered that this capital can
be profitably employed in commercial and manu-
faduringjeriterpriscs and in the construction of
raijroadsjantlptjier workof puWic-and private im-
provement'prospcrity will again smile throughout
